Madam President, I rise today to talk about the disturbing leadership failure we are seeing out of the White House. Over the past year the President and his administration have seemed increasingly out of touch with the many challenges…

I commend the Chairman and staff for shining a light on these abuses.

Mr. President, I wish to end on what my colleagues, the Senator from Kentucky and the leader, Senator McConnell, say. Senator Graham, Senator Ayotte, and I appreciate Senator McConnell's leadership in making very clear what is at stake…

I thank the chairman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, over the past several years, my eyes have really been opened to the disturbing type of slavery that we have seen across the world and here at home. I have heard about human trafficking before…
